Dudley was really excited he had just change houses. No more rude obnoxious Slytherins. He ran down the stairs of Dumbledore's office and down to the Great Hall where he knew his friends would be gathered. He saw them standing around and raced toward them.

"You'll never guess what." Dudley said panting slightly.

"What?" asked Cedric.

"Dumbledore took me out of Slytherin." He said, now catching his breath.

"Really, I don't think he's ever done that for anyone before," Cho said.

"Well, Dudley didn't belong in Slytherin, Dumbledore must've known that from the beginning." Cedric said.

"So where did they put you?" Lorn asked.

"Ravenclaw," he nearly shouted. Lorn smile told him that she was ecstatic.

"Really?" Cho asked, "That's great. You're really smart. You should definitely be in Ravenclaw."

"Ah… I was hoping you would be in Hufflepuff. But that's ok. Congratulations Dudley." Cedric said patting him on the back.

Dudley moved all his stuff from Slytherin to Ravenclaw. He was happy to find they were much friendlier and much more accepting than the Slytherins had been. He was even more glad that his move enabled him to spend more time with Lorn. They could sit together in the common room reading, studying, or just talking together. One night in particular they just sat there together, snuggled in front of the fire, not saying a word, just enjoying each other's company.
